ok so from what i know, 00 and 01 gsr's are obd-2b. Now I need an ecu to run my car (not a jumper harness). So 00 and 01 dc2's have immobilizers correct? so it wouldnt work in my car. But if the immobilizer is removed it will work in my car correct? Also, which ecu's will work. Will an 00 or 01 SI ecu work? They dont come with immobilizers from what i understand. Which ecu's can i use? Sorry for the long post but i cant find an answer yet HONDA-TECH ROCKS!!!

 

These should work:

99 GS-R ECU
00-01 GSR w/ immobilizer removed
94-95 GSR with OBD1 harness
94-94 LS ECU (as a temp solution only)

I am unsure about:

99-00 civic si ECU
97-99 Type r ECU

 

if you have stock IM, get a 00-01 gsr ecu w/immobilizer removed or get a 96-99 ecu with obd2b-obd2a harness. if you want to run a R ecu, remove the iab valve from ur IM. i'm using a R ecu, vtec is way more noticeable.

 

so does anyone know if an Si ecu will work?

 

bump

 

anyone know?

 

yes it will work but i would recomend using the 00-01 gsr ecu

 

it is only temporary i just need to know if the car will run with it. So a 00 Si will work for sure? Because if it does then i am going to buy it right away

 

yes it will run with it ...

 

thanks a lot < for honda-tech genius's haha

 

dont us si ecu us gsr 00-01 ecu!

 

are you saying that the ecu will not work in my car?

 

MY friend had the same problem and he used a 00 civic si ecu and it works just fine.

 

ok thanks, can anyone else confirm this? for just in case

 

bump it up

 

Itll run it but no secondaries you have a gsr mani

And what most people don't realize is that the Si ecu has the fuel maps for a 1.6L, the 1.8L fuel maps on the GSR ecu's are more otimum.

i would just be using the ecu for a short amount of time, not for performance. Thanks

 

ok i tried a 00 Si ecu and the car started but it didnt stay running. So i guess that ecu doesnt work

 

bump

 

bump, anyone know why the Si ecu didnt work?

 

because something else is wrong i used a gsr ecu to start my car before i took it to the dealer to get the immobolizer reset
